England coach Trevor Bayliss on the Ashes squad: "There are two or three positions that will take more time than the others. I can't see us going outside the people we have played in the last 12-18 months.

He got into the England team as a defensive unit who it was so difficult to dislodge. After his injury, his technique changed and he's been getting out a lot caught behind the wicket playing outside his off stump. It sounds like someone has said this to him and now he's back to grinding out a strike rate of under 10.

He's 9 not out off 33 in their second innings, following on, so he's positively flying along.

I went out to open in a 40 over game once where we needed 175 to win and my captain told me to be there at the end. I promptly made 41 not out from 39 overs and we won by three wickets Gotta know your role in the team.

Also - Westley failed today for Essex (got out to Woakes who's taken 2 for 64 off 24). Also, Stoneman scored 131 for Surrey, Ben Foakes (who some are suggesting as a backup keeper) scored a hundred too. You just know that Ballance is going to make a score for Yorks in that match
